Be Merry - Magnolia-licious 'No DP' Challenge

Hello!

It's the 4th Tuesday of the month and at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog that means it's time for the 2nd challenge of the month. The theme this time is 'No Designer Paper'. Details of the challenge and how you can join in the fun can be found at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog. Don't forget to check out the inspirational cards/projects that the DT gals have created.

I was thinking of creating my own designer papers or dry-embossing a few cardstocks and using them as background papers. But at the end I decided to play around with just my cardstocks and do some layering, diecutting and punching.

I've created another version of a front-panel side-step card. On this one, the front-panel is to the side instead of centered.

The inside of the card has also been decorated.

Occasionally I like to use my coloured pencils to do my colouring and that's what I've done for this card.
I'm featuring a few images and dies that are available from Magnolia-licious:

A reminder that there is a weekly draw for a Surprise Package Prize just for commenting. All the comments made on the Tuesday Challenge and "W"ednesday postings on all the DT gals' blogs and the Challenge Blog itself will be entered into the draw.

Simply amazing design Norma. Your work is beyond beautiful with all the little extras you put on it. Perfect little touches that turn a simple card into a work of art. Beautifully colored...Hugs, Janie
